In essence, I agree with you: Gong Li and the directer (Zhang Yimou) had a good run, but the later movies were not as good.

Clearly, Ju Dou is small in scale while To Live is a grand epic. Nothing captures the changes that wrought China for so many decades better than To Live, which is why I prefer it.

All told, there are some classic movies in this "series".
